nothing more to do, but wait now. the presidential candidates wrap up their campaign whirlwind and wait for the ballots to come in. five stops in one day, sounds like a rock star, but it is our governor. the threat if it is the tax initiative that does not pass. >> she stuck her head in the sand when she should be pulling the alarm. a former elementary school principal found guilty. her punishment for sexual abuse. good evening, i'm ken bastida. >> i'm dana king. it's down to the 11th hour in what seems like an endless campaign. they held their last two rallies about two hours ago. and now in the hands of the voters, especially in their crucial battleground states. they told us that the candidates are now waiting for the only poll that matters. president obama and mitt romney

both threw battleground states on monday for the final push of the e votes for the -- push of the votes for the election day. and he told supporters romney's campaign is the greatest hits collection of failed policies. >> he is trying to pretend that somehow his own ideas did not work and that they are new and they will work this time. >> reporter: wrapping up the last political campaign in ohio and iowa, the president says that the choice on tuesday is a matter of trust. >> you know what i believe. and you know where i stand. and you know i tell the truth. and you know that i will fight for you and your family every single day as hard as i know how. >> reporter: president obama will monitor the returns from his hometown of chicago. mitt romney's campaign will await the results in boston. the republican nominee got a rocking reception in columbus, ohio. that they failed to deliver the change he promised. >> talk is cheap.

and a record, it's real, it's earned. change can't be measured in speeches if measured in results.

prop 32. a measure to limit their campaign cash. >> transparency is the life blood of the democracy. the transactions behind this committee are the equivalent of passing a suitcase in a dark alley. >> the fair political practices commission say that the secret donation amounts to money laundering and violates california campaign law. cbs 5 reporter caught up with them during their final stops in san francisco. >> keep the california dream alive. yes on 30, thanks. it was the ultimate pep rally with a few of their closest friends leading the cheer. >> are we going to do it? all right, all right. >> reporter: the governor's barn storm is safe today to convince voters to approve proposition 30. recent polls show them dwindling for a measure that will raise the income taxes for

those making more than $250,000 a year and also impose an extra quarter cent sales tax. >> so the governor is asking for your help. will you give it? okay. without tax hikes, get ready for the deeper cuts. >> that will be $27 billion of red ink. that's the depth. i mean it's amazing. >> reporter: the projected $6 billion a year raise for the new taxes will go to education for k-12 grades and community colleges, guaranteeing funding for public safety services. but the polls show less than 50% of the voters will defeat them and it's a real possibility. >> if you could do it over again, get the polls, what would you do? >> i would do it the same. i worked hard. i told the truth and i would level with the people and i would ask the people if they wanted to raise taxes, if they thought it was important as we're asking the people.

whatever they say, i'll carry it out. >> reporter: they mentioned like a doomsday scenario. do you see that happen? >> i'm not going to predict doom for this state. and i will never do that. but i think that it could be a very rough go. >> reporter: traditionally theinitiatives fail if they fall below 50% the night of the election. if prop 30 fails, the schools will get clobbered even more, including the reduction of the school year by three weeks. linda yee, cbs 5. here is something that may blow your mind. the money has been spent on the california campaigns. more than half a billion dollars for the ballot measures alone. the congressional races and the legislative seats combined, ranked among the top in state history. some of that money, a lot of that money came exclusively from two very wealthy siblings.

young ones about their 11 propositions. couldn't we all use a little help? >> how do you feel about the propositions? >> not too informed. >> reporter: what is prop 32? >> no. >> reporter: what is prop 30, do you know? >> i think i'm suppose to know yes or no on that one. >> what is prop 37? >> it is labeling the gmos. and i would vote yes on that one. >> what about prop 32? >> oh, i don't know. >> reporter: if you're going to spend an hour educating yourself, why shouldn't it be spent? >> reporter: it is not the first time that they have shown that here, but they let you create your own federal budget based on romney and obama's proposals where games like this, they could be the future. >> yeah, that sounds like it could definitely help. >> i want to see if they could get it. i just sent in my ballot. >> be sure to watch our sister

do better. >> she got horrible advice from hr and she didn't do what she knew she should do, she had a suspicion and she didn't act on it and the consequences were just wrong. >> reporter: she could have gone six months in jail -- she could have gotten six months in jail, but they sentenced her to probation, training other teachers to not make the same mistake she did. live in san jose, cbs a. the man accused of smashing the bus of the muni bus after the world series says he's sorry, asking for forgiveness from the public who identified him after a social media man hunt. he pleaded not guilty to two felony counts today. and outside the court, his lawyer said that his client acknowledges responsibility. the d.a. also charged 12 other people for crimes that same night. >> we want to send a very clear

prove that she is no longer responsible for this $500 car that is now accruing nearly $3,000 in fees. >> it is very frustrating. >> reporter: when selling a car, the dmv suggests you have the buyer meet you there to immediately process the paperwork together. and always keep a copy of the signed title and the paperwork required to sell a car in the state. the dmv has finally processed the paperwork, so she is off the hook. on consumer watch, julie watts. cbs 5. coming up an unexpected discovery near the checkout line. why you might have a tougher time getting groceries at your favorite store.
